<p>Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is reportedly backing away from potentially mounting a 2024 presidential campaign as the field of contenders for the Republican Party&#8217;s nomination begins to take shape.</p>
<p>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/15/us/politics/glenn-youngkin-2024-presidential-run.html">reported</a> that Youngkin has informed his advisers and donors that his sole focus is helping Republicans win in the state&#8217;s legislative elections in November—months after the party&#8217;s primary debates kickoff in August.</p>
<p>“Listen, I didn’t write a book, and I’m not in Iowa or New Hampshire or South Carolina,” Youngkin said this past week when asked about a potential timeline for 2024. “I am wholly focused on the Commonwealth of Virginia, and I’m looking forward to these elections.’’</p>
<p>Youngkin would fall significantly behind his rivals if he waited till after the November before announcing his candidacy, in which the Times noted that &#8220;very few presidential hopefuls waited past summer and none went on to win their party nomination.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report noted that Youngkin has yet to crack 1% in the polls and that backing away from the presidential chatter is &#8220;a bow to political reality.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report noted that Youngkin&#8217;s top two political advisers that helped him win in the blue state of Virginia — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-political-strategist-to-glenn-youngkin-joins-pro-desantis-group">Jeff Roe</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-former-top-trump-campaign-official-joins-pro-desantis-pac-urging-governor-to-run">Matt Wolking</a> — have both joined Never Back Down, the super PAC encouraging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to run for president.</p>
<p>Some other notable Republicans have already taken their names out of the 2024 presidential race, including Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tom-cotton-makes-decision-on-running-for-president-in-2024-report">Tom Cotton</a> (R-AR), former Secretary of State <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-pompeo-announces-decision-on-2024-presidential-run">Mike Pompeo</a>, and former Maryland Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/larry-hogan-reveals-decision-on-2024-presidential-run">Larry Hogan</a>.</p>
<p>The top two contenders so far in the Republican Party&#8217;s primary are former President Donald Trump and DeSantis, who has not yet announced whether he is running for president in 2024.</p>
<p>DeSantis was in New Hampshire late last week where he broke the New Hampshire Republican Party’s all-time fundraising record after his event quickly sold out.</p>
<p>“Record-breaking fundraiser for the state party,” NHGOP Chairman Chris Ager <a href="https://nhjournal.com/breaking-desantis-speech-sets-nhgop-fundraising-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NH Journal Friday morning. “Largest fundraiser in the history of the NHGOP, raising more than a quarter of a million dollars. Ticket sales were halted earlier this week after we exceeded planned capacity.”</p>
<p>Florida’s Voice <a href="https://flvoicenews.com/desantis-new-hampshire-event/">reported</a> that Ager announced at the event that $382,000 had been raised.</p>
